#1329219 — [PATCH 0/9] RFKill airplane-mode indicator

This series implements an airplane-mode indicator LED trigger, which can be
used by platform drivers. The default policy have have airplane-mode set when
all the radios known by RFKill are OFF, and unset otherwise. This policy can be
overwritten by userspace using the new operations _AIRPLANE_MODE_ACQUIRE,
_AIRPLANE_MODE_RELEASE, and _AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGE. When the airplane-mode
indicator state changes, userspace gets notifications through the RFKill
control misc device (/dev/rfkill).

The series also contains a few general fixes and improvements to the subsystem.

João Paulo Rechi Vita (9):
  rfkill: Improve documentation language
  rfkill: Remove extra blank line
  rfkill: Point to the correct deprecated doc location
  rfkill: Move "state" sysfs file back to stable
  rfkill: Factor rfkill_global_states[].cur assignments
  rfkill: Add documentation about LED triggers
  rfkill: Create "rfkill-airplane_mode" LED trigger
  rfkill: Userspace control for airplane mode
  rfkill: Notify userspace of airplane-mode state changes

#1329220 — [PATCH 4/9] rfkill: Move "state" sysfs file back to stable

There is still quite a bit of code using this interface, so we can't
just remove it. Hopefully it will be possible in the future, but since
its scheduled removal date is past 2 years already, we are better having
the documentation reflecting the current state of things.
